      While true that you can use dial up internet even on modern browsers, it fell out of use pretty much everywhere by the mid 2000s. DSL and cable became pretty ubiquitous.

        I can see it could feel that way in some areas. I’m a Canadian, so we didn’t even start to address the digital divide until 2019.

        I thought high speed was ubiquitous in the late 00’s, then I moved to a province when it was very limited.

        1/3 of the world still has no fixed internet access, let alone broadband access

        They are all internet explorer or variants of it. The internet was what the icon was labeled for the first few versions. The last icon is for edge i believe.
